OpenClaw Nostr privateKey config redaction bypass leaks plaintext signing key via config.get

Details

Summary

OpenClaw Nostr privateKey config redaction bypass leaks plaintext signing key via config.get

Current Maintainer Triage

Status: open
Normalized severity: medium
Assessment: v2026.3.28 still models Nostr privateKey as plain string so config views can expose it, and the secret-schema fix is unreleased.

Affected Packages / Versions

Package: openclaw (npm)
Latest published npm version: 2026.3.31
Vulnerable version range: <=2026.3.28
Patched versions: >= 2026.3.31
First stable tag containing the fix: v2026.3.31

Release Process Note

The fix is already present in released version 2026.3.31.
This draft looks ready for final maintainer disposition or publication, not additional code-fix work.

CVE-2026-41385 (GCVE-0-2026-41385)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2026-04-28 18:09 – Updated: 2026-04-29 12:18 X_Open Source

Title

OpenClaw < 2026.3.31 - Nostr Private Key Exposure via config.get Redaction Bypass

Summary

OpenClaw before 2026.3.31 stores Nostr privateKey as plaintext in configuration, allowing exposure through config.get method calls that bypass redaction mechanisms. Attackers can retrieve unredacted configuration data to obtain plaintext signing keys used for Nostr protocol operations.

Severity

7.1 (High)
